They decide flying potion is their best bet, so they whip up a batch. Then they remember that Ivy is training to be a witch. Then perhaps they can sell some of Nancy's stuff? (Nancy is Bean's older sister.) No, that's stealing. How can Ivy and Bean earn money? Ivy suggests Bean sell her beloved animal/food/etc.-shaped erasers. No matter how much they beg their parents, they will not buy them the cheese, which they claim is "too expensive." Isn't that just like a grown-up? Don't they know what's IMPORTANT? Apparently it's a "thing" to squish the wax, mold it into funny shapes, stick it on your face, etc. (In the book it is called Belldeloon instead of Babybel.) Why do they want this so bad? Well, it isn't for the cheese - it's for the wax the cheese comes in. They are the only kids at school who don't get Mini Babybel cheese in their lunchbox. Ivy loves to read, is soft-spoken, and plans to be a witch when she grows up. Bean uses bad language, plays practical jokes on people, loves to be outside, and isn't afraid of getting dirty. They may seem like opposites at first glance: Bean is small and dark, Ivy is a tall redhead.
